The Five Pillars
Pillar 1: Living and Learning Infrastructure
We will modernize our campus to match the caliber of our students. By developing a premier Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering building and reimagining our student centric spaces, we are creating the launchpads for the next generation of breakthroughs and supportive environments.
Pillar 2: Academic Leadership
We will empower master scholar mentors. By creating endowed professorships and directorships we can ensure that our outstanding faculty members remain national leaders in STEM pedagogy and high impact faculty student research.
Pillar 3: Access and Opportunity
We will secure exceptional intellectual drive by opening access and opportunity to outstanding future STEM leaders. By eliminating loans, expanding scholarships, and building our pipeline, we will ensure that our students ’ trajectory is determined by their talent and ambition rather than their financial background.
Pillar 4: Innovation Accelerator (IA)
We will build and sustain a dedicated platform for launching bold new ideas. The IA fuels our faculty-led laboratories in STEM education and transformative partnerships, which allows Harvey Mudd to develop new and novel frameworks to guide these fields —from data science and AI to health technologies and climate.
Pillar 5: Experiential Learning
We will move education beyond the classroom. We are expanding the Clinic Program, Summer Research opportunities, and civic engagement to ensure every Mudder graduates with outstanding leadership skills and robust professional networks.
